Abstract

A system includes a processor configured to communicate wirelessly with a mobile device, wherein the processor is further configured to receive output data from a navigation application running on the mobile device. The processor is also configured to send data back through the mobile device to a standardization system, including a request for standardization, running on a remote system, if the output data is in an unusable format. Also, the processor is configured to receive a standardized form of the data, having been standardized by the remote standardization system. The processor is further configured to process the standardized data to provide navigation directions through one or more vehicle outputs controllable by the processor.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to a method and apparatus for normalizing navigation data for playback by a vehicle computing system. Background technique [0002] Vehicle computing systems, such as the Ford SYNC system, have been provided with an increasing ability to provide applications and unique functionality to the vehicle driver and passengers. For example, vehicles (even before SYNC) have been equipped with the ability to provide navigational directions to the user. [0003] Typically, in order for a vehicle to be able to provide on-board navigation, the vehicle is equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device that provides the vehicle's current location and a specific form of processor and output for handling direction processing and direction display. [0004] Meanwhile, many modern wireless devices, such as smart phones, are now also equipped with GPS functionality. These devices often have direction-providing capabi...
